Are there any wunderkind engineers employed by Roblox?

No but there are some 'wunderkinds' making and selling games on the Roblox engine/platform. They guy who created Bloxburg for example was a teenager when he released that game, and he just sold it for over $100 million.

But the consumers in this case are the ones generating content with a heavy dose of programming.

It sounds exploitative on the part of Roblox, but they're doing game development.

Roblox allows its players to make new games on Roblox. This is probably what parent commenter means. And I agree with them, we should view all of those kids that make new games in Roblox as game developers.

To make games on Roblox, you use Roblox Studio. See https://create.roblox.com/landing
